Not only did Duke win another football game on Saturday, they also landed two D.C. hoop stars. Two of the Washington area's top high school basketball players, both juniors, have committed to play for the Blue Devils, according to their high school coaches.

Courtland forward Josh Hairston (left) , a third-team All-Met last season, and Gonzaga point guard Tyler Thornton, who helped the Eagles win the City Title championship, took unofficial visits to the Durham, N.C., campus and said yesterday that they would accept scholarship offers from the Blue Devils. The two are good friends who play together on the D.C. Assault travel team.

WHERE IN THE WORLD...?

The way it is...

The way it was...

TAH DAMN GOOD CAUSE OF THE MONTH

NORTHERN HAITI HOPE FOUNDATION: After our recent trip to Haiti, we vowed to do more to help. Clean water is a critical issue for all Haitians. It's particularly problematic for those in rural areas. For $2,000 to $5,000 we can build a new well in a rural village as part of a program facilitated by the St. Barthelemy School and the Warrenton, VA Rotary. Send your donation to Wells of Health and Hope, c/o GPetty-VTA, 38 Garrett Street, Warrenton, VA 20186 and keep your eye on T.A.H. for progress reports. Thanks! CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR MORE INFO.
